The second SOLID workshop will take place at Phelma Polygone, in Grenoble (France), from Monday February 20th until Thursday February 23th 2012. More details concerning the venue can be found in the section "Travel information".

The event is jointly organized by the European network SOLID and by the local quantum nanoelectronics and quantum photonics community. This meeting will bring together about 80 scientists, working on solid state quantum information systems both in theory and experiment.

Important dates:
 abstract submission: January 15th 2012
 hotel booking: January 10th
 preregistration: now
 early bird registration: January 15th

The scientific focus of the workshop will be placed on interfacing of different types of qubits in order to work towards the development of hybrid quantum systems that combine the very best properties of different solid state qubit implementations. The major benefit of this approach would be to combine the long coherence times available in solid-state microscopic quantum NV systems with the strong interactions and integration and control possibilities available in macroscopic Josephson junction and Quantum Dot systems.
